The baby, whose condition was unknown Monday night, was taken to the Prenatal Intensive Care Unit at Mission Hospital in serious condition. The baby’s mother was also taken to Mission Hospital.

N.C. Highway Patrol Trooper Mark Corbin said a Chevy pickup truck crossed the center line and crashed into the front of a Honda SUV near London Road at about 12:15 p.m.

The driver of the pickup truck was also taken to the hospital. The drivers’ conditions were serious but did not seem life-threatening immediately following the accident, Valley Hill Fire and Rescue Chief Tim Garren said at the scene.

Corbin said he did not know why the truck veered over the center line. The accident is still under investigation and charges may be pending.

Evidence at the scene did not indicate that high speed was a contributing factor, Corbin said.

Corbin said the infant was properly restrained in a car seat, which was still secured in the back of the SUV when Corbin arrived at the scene.

Two dogs riding in the cab of the pickup truck were injured and taken for treatment by an animal control officer.
